Prayers 6 Prayers to all the angels and saints of heaven

The prayers I have posted so far are, as is our Catholic tradition, followed by intercessions to Our Lady, as we name Mary, the mother of Jesus, to the Holy Family, to St Joseph (these last two being special favourites of mine) and to all our Patron Saints and Guardian Angels.

I offer them here to anyone who may be interested.

Beloved Mother, Holy Family, St Joseph and all the angels and saints of heaven,
thank you for loving and praying for us always.
May we love and pray to you as we should.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
You are the most blest of all women
and blessed is your son, our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, 
thank you for praying for us your children, (*see below)
now and at the hour of our death. Amen

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I give you my heart and my soul.
Beloved Holy Family, thank you for being with ours and all families,
now and always, in times of need and the hour of our death. Amen

Beloved St Joseph, husband of Mary and foster-father of Jesus,
thank you that your love surrounds and protects ours and all families, 
as it did the Holy family, now and always, 
in times of need and the hour of our death. Amen

Beloved Mother, Holy Family, St Joseph,
Sts (and here, I name husband's and my Patron Saints individually), 
all the patron saints of our loved ones and all we know or know of, living or dead,
thank you for praying for us all but especially for those in any kind of need.

Thank you, Guardian Angels, for guiding and guarding us throughout this day,
especially those who are travelling, away from home or in any kind of danger. Amen

* I feel sure that Our blessed Lady would want us to come to her as her children, totally confident in her motherly love, despite our failings and failures, and not as sinners. I know I would with my children even though I am so far beneath her, in my capacity to love.
